G'day, nice work with this article. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the topic to complete the GA review, but one suggestion I have is to expand the section on ships, as it seems quite light on the details. Is there any more that could be said about the topic. For instance, what were they used for, how long were they, how much did they displace, how were they constructed etc? Anyway, good luck with taking the article further. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) 05:06, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Boar's tusk helmets consisted of a felt-lined leather cap, with several rows of cut boar's tusk sewn onto it.where the source says
It consisted of a felt-lined leather cap, with several rows of cut boar’s tusk sewn onto it.
So I think this is clearly not a GA. Botterweg14 (talk) 01:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey, here's a follow-up question since I've never dealt with GA-related issues before. I'm part way through an (offline) rewrite of Attarsiya, another GA with similar issues. I'm fairly confident that I can bring it up to GA-quality since the issues there are less severe and it's on a topic where I have more background and interest. Should I list that article for GAR or just go ahead with the rewrite? Botterweg14 (talk) 22:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Widespread poor source use in this article, including the use of likely unreliable sources, text not being supported by their cited sources, and direct plagiarism, thus failing to meet GA2. (Thanks to Botterweg14 for noticing.) CMD ( talk) 04:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
